Take it easy, I'm a serious game

Chapter 14 Repaying Resentment with Virtue

"He didn't make it through."

"He froze to death."

Lin Shuang slowly put down the sword in her hand. She knew that there was no point in struggling at this time, and she might lose her life in vain.

Instead of continuing to show hostility to die, it is better to take a gamble.

What if you tell a lie and the other party believes it?
No matter what, you must never tell him that the man was killed by his own people, let alone let him know that he sent his brother's body to the old bone with his own hands
Now, that corpse should have been turned into compost and buried in the ground, right?
Chen Jiu on the opposite side shook his head secretly, this woman is too stupid.

If it is really facing an enemy with a blood feud, how can this kind of rhetoric convince anyone?
But fortunately, I really don't plan to do anything to her.

Just kidding, to me now, she is a score in Shuanghe's assessment.

Still can't get that back!

Even if he is angry in his heart, he can't kill her casually for revenge.

Thinking of this, he took a deep breath, pretended to be sad and said:

"I'm sorry. But that's how it is on the red ground. The ice tide is coming. No one knows if they will be alive tomorrow."

"What! What are you guys talking about? Why don't I have this plot!"

Qin Chuan on the side interrupted him anxiously, while Chen Jiu hurriedly pulled him aside and said in a low voice:
"This is the background plot of the exclusive character, just watch it without talking, I will explain it to you later!"

Upon hearing the "exclusive plot", Qin Chuan immediately calmed down, and obediently stood aside to watch Chen Jiu's performance.

That's right, it's not ordinary people who can enter the game in the closed beta stage, and I'm still a bug tester, so what's a little exclusive plot?

Soon, Chen Jiu reached an agreement with Lin Shuang that she could continue collecting acorns, and if necessary, she could also take the acorns to the cave and exchange some dried meat with herself.

Lin Shuang's expression finally relaxed.

This level is finally over.

At the same time, a trace of expectation appeared on her face.

Jerky!

If you can exchange for jerky, you can bring the jerky back to the village and exchange it for more buckwheat.

After all, in the ice tide where the temperature is plummeting, the fat carried by the dried meat may determine life and death to a large extent, and it is a hard currency that is absolutely easy to trade.

"Can I go now?"

she asked tentatively.

"of course can!"

Chen Jiu agreed immediately.

He didn't expect that this breakthrough would be so smooth. If he could establish a connection with Xiahe Village on this woman, it would be much easier to do other things later.

At least he didn't have to be stabbed directly by just raising the magic furnace like before.

Soon, the three of them followed Qin Chuan's footsteps and returned to the entrance of the research institute. Naturally, it was impossible for Chen Jiu to let this woman named Lin Shuang go in, so he asked Qin Chuan to fetch the dried meat, while he accompanied him. Lin Shuang waited outside.
-
Of course, there is another reason why it is inconvenient to say, that is, he wants to watch Lin Shuang, lest she steal the jerky that is still roasting and run away.

It is undeniable that Chen Jiu has a good understanding of human nature, but it is not enough.

Because the current Lin Shuang, when she saw the rack full of barbecues, the thought that flashed through her mind was:

If these refugees were killed, would the meat belong to him?

Fortunately, she suppressed this thought just as it came to her mind, otherwise, the wrath of the fourth natural disaster might not only fall on her head, but on the head of the entire Xiahe Village.

Damn, how could I think like that!

Lin Shuang pinched her arm angrily.

His own people had already killed his elder brother, yet he still wanted to kill him.

If I really do this, what is the difference between me and those bandits?
All of a sudden, guilt, self-blame, and fear surged up at the same time.

She could feel that she had been distorted by this land—humanity was being slowly wiped out, and after this ice tide passed, she didn't know how much would be left.

A few minutes later, Qin Chuan came to the entrance of the cave carrying the jerky, followed by the wig who was watching curiously.

"Ah, new NPC!"

The wig jumped in front of Lin Shuang, who subconsciously took a step back.

"Brother Jiu, such a timid NPC, is this a businessman who was spawned?"

"Yes, it is the merchants who came to Xiahe Village in the early stage, and they can exchange supplies."

"Well. Then what do you have?"

This sentence was asked to Lin Shuang, who was taken aback for a moment, and replied:
"I only have acorns."

"If you need, I can bring some Gebu and buckwheat."

She didn't understand what the other party meant by "NPC", but she could understand what the word merchant meant.

These people probably want to use themselves to make deals with Xiahe Village.

This is the best result, after all, in this way, I really have a use for myself.

And useful people will not be killed so easily.

These so-called "bandits" are really interesting.

For her, this kind of interest is not only reflected in the fact that the other party ignores previous suspicions, but also in their performance in all aspects.

Including this later young woman, they didn't seem to worry about the ice tide at all—no, they suppressed their worries about the ice tide.

It was as if he had completely underestimated life and death.

That kind of expression and that kind of tone have never appeared on anyone in Xiahe Village.

Yes, they are people who will fight with their lives in the hunt.
Perhaps only such a person can live better on the bare ground, right?

Before she could think any further, Qin Chuan had already dropped the jerky at her feet.

"A total of thirty catties, I asked Shuanghe to calculate it."

"?? Why are you taking so much?"

Chen Jiu asked inexplicably.

"Is there even a need to ask? Brush up your favorability!"

"Hey, I tried it just now. This transaction is a task transaction. You don't need to spend points to buy these jerky. They are all free, so why don't you give more?"

"Anyway, the ratio of bartering is set by us, the jerky is from Shuanghe, and the favorability is ours!"

"You wait, I'll get some more!"

Qin Chuan said triumphantly that he was secretly delighted that he had found another bug.

Sure enough, it's a closed beta game, there are bugs everywhere, doesn't this make me stuck?
Chen Jiu yelled in his heart that something was wrong, and Shuanghe hadn't really understood the game mechanism, so he quickly sent a message to Shuanghe on the manager interface, telling him not to give Qin Chuan any more jerky.

But what about the jerky that has already been brought over?
don't give?

Isn't that inconsistent with his player status?

Chen Jiu felt uncomfortable, but he could only smash his teeth and swallow it in his mouth.

Fortunately, for players, the acquisition of jerky is not as difficult as that of the aborigines. If you give it, you can give it. It is really a good impression.
Thinking of this, he said:
"Take all the jerky and leave the acorns."

Lin Shuang looked at the dried meat on the ground in disbelief, and her voice trembled uncontrollably:

"Give me everything on the ground?"

"It's all for you, take it away, take it away, remember to give a good review!"

Wig interrupted.

Lin Shuang's expression became more and more complicated.

At this moment, she suddenly felt ridiculous.

Yes, the other party really didn't have a trace of malice.

Even, they are still sparing no effort to help themselves.

And myself, just a few minutes ago, was still harboring such nasty thoughts.

Her face turned red uncontrollably in an instant, even though Chidi had taught her a lot, even if she had already abandoned those useless "kindness", but this did not mean that she really didn't like it in her heart. Longing for that kindness.

The three people in front of her were like the sunshine when the red tide came, making her whole body sting.

Maybe
This world is about to change.
